Our mission is to lead the nation in education success and recidivism reduction in juvenile justice. As a founding member of the Consortium for Educational Excellence in Secure
Settings, TJJD is committed to taking dramatic steps to improve the schools inside
of our youth facilities. Our goal is to ensure that every student in our care is
making sustained and substantial progress towards a high school diploma, GED, or
vocational industry certification, so that they can and will be successful at school,
work and in the community upon release. If you're an excellent teacher who wants to work with students who need you most, please complete the form below.
